I just saw in the Kamaka web site:
Soprano HF-1: old price $695 up to $845
Pineapple HP-1: old price $695 up to $845
Concert HF-2: old price $925 up to $1045
Tenor HF-3: ancient price $1090 up to $1245
Soprano, Pineapple and Tenor increases prices in almost 20%
Concert increases a little less.
What happened? koa wood is now really hard to find?
In comparision with koalohas soprano and pineapples (both $550), the kamaka prices is almost 40% above! In tenor size, koaloha ($1000) is 25% less. Has long time ago that the Koaloha site is not updated, but two months ago I spoke by email with Brian, and prices were still the same I put here.
Kamaka now is more expensive because of the popularization of ukuleles with singers like Eddie Vedder?
Or Koaloha has so much love for the ukulele, so much koa in stock and so much sales to don't increase prices yet?
Kanilea K1 models with UV gloss finish has prices close to kamaka prices.
A warning:
hawaiimusicsupply still has the old prices in Kamaka ukes
